The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes:
The Ultimate Reference for Comic Book Artists: - Review:: 'good book this book has a lot of instruction and ideas for what to draw is has a lot of instruction for the serious sketch artists. if you are looking for a book on anatomy this is a great buy.
- Review:: 'Ok for someone learning to draw.... The good: For someone who is learning to draw (and can) this will be helpful. The bad: observation of human and animal anatomy would be better for the student. Musculature can be picked up from health and body building magazines or online articles. there really isn't anything "cutting edge" about it for anyone who has picked up graphic novels or comics before. Is it worth it? yeah I guess so... for the inexperienced artist (in ANY discipline, whether painter, sculptor, graphic artist, comic book artist, etc etc) and as a quick reference book. But once you get into high detail artwork, where perhaps you want to show the texture of the muscle tissue underneath the skin (lighting and shading) it won't help. Poses and muscle groups that's about it.
- Review:: 'Really and Truly a Must-Have for the Aspiring Artist This is probably among the top five of Christopher Hart's "How to Draw" books I own. If you're looking for a way to render anatomy in a good style - after having learned the basics, of course - then this is certainly the book for you. "Drawing Cutting Edge Anatomy" offers a number of exceptionally helpful sections for the artist; be warned however - as is the nature of books of this type, some sections will be wildly helpful, while others you'll just pass by. The most helpful: 1) Early on, some helpful full-body schematics are rovided for both heroic male and female figures' musculature. 2) There is a helpful page on vein placement 3) The chapter on the Head and Neck (especially regarding the rendering of female characters' faces) 4) The chapter on the Chest adn Abs 5) The chapter on The Pelvis, Legs and Feet (especially on the legs). Unfortunately, the secions on the arms and hand are not especially helpful (owing mostly to the artist who provide the illustrations). Overall, however, a great book and a worthy addition to any beginning artist's bookshelf. Enjoy!
- Review:: 'Great Book This is a great reference book. I really like it, BUT for any really REALLY serious people who wish to really improve their drawings, Riven Pheonix "Drawing the Human Figure From Your Mind" lessons are key (google it). It shows you how to draw the whole skeleton - from your mind. Then the muscles - from your mind. The fruits are astounding. I completed all 227 lessons and must admit that reference books are much more helpful when you actually LEARN how EXACTLY mucles and bones look the way they look on people.
- Review:: 'Great buy, Well worth the Money I'm a beginner to drawing in general but the descriptions and pictures presented make reproducing presented information/techniques easy
Book by Keith Giffen, Christos Gage, Stuart Moore, Andrea Divito, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Mike [McKone]Create? and Scott Kolins. Marvel Comics 304 pages Paperback Published 2007-12-05. Description: The epic collection of the cosmic event concludes! One empire has fallen. Two heroes are dead. It all comes together here! Individually, the Silver Surfer, Super-Skrull, Ronan and Nova have faced down the Annihilation Wave...and lost! Now, they must unite those who remain or die by Annihilus' hand! The Annihilation has only begun! Plus: Get caught up on all the players in the Annihilation event - Annihilus, Nova, Ronan, the Silver Surfer, the Super-Skrull, Thanos and more - courtesy of the Xandarian Worldmind files of the Nova Corps! Collecting Annihilation #1-6, Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus #1-2, and the Annihilation: The Nova Corps Files handbook.
- Review:: 'Good conclusion to "Annihilation" story but too much filler in Volume 3 Marvel's third of three "Annihilation" volumes collects the six-issue 2006 eponymous mini-series as well as two Heralds of Galactus issues. Keith Giffen's main Annihilation story concludes as the combined force of Nova, Silver Surfer, Super Skrull, Ronan, Drax, Gamora and the like make their climactic stand against Annihilus. Thanos and Galactus also feature prominently. Artist Andrea Divito and colorist Laura Villari provide artwork of a high quality with some majestic planetscapes. Unfortunately, this book is padded with 46 pages of "Xandar Worldmind Database" capsules of key characters and plot elements. This much filler merits a lower list price. Though enjoyable, the Annihilation series did not match the expectations garnered by the hype and included too much auxiliary material in the three eponymous volumes. I do not plan to follow the subseqent "Annihilation: Conquest" series.
- Review:: 'Annihilus is the will! Annihilus is the way! Annihilus is forever! Hearing all the raves for Annihilation, Marvel's event in the spaceways, I got the last two trades for it. Collecting Annihilation #1-6, Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus #1-2 and Annihilation: Nova Corps. Files, BOOK THREE sees the conclusion to the event, and let me tell you this: it does NOT disappoint. There's so much that goes on in Annihilation, I'll give you a broad rundown on why it's worth your 17 bucks. -GRAND-SCALE MOMENTS: You can tell that the Annihilation War is epic. Gods (Galactus) are desecrated. Civilizations (Xandar, House of Fiyero, Skrull Empire)are destroyed. Pariahs (Ronan the Accuser) are restored. But best of all, these radical changes are ADHERED TO. This means the change in the status quo REMAINS the change - if the Supreme Intelligence is killed, then it STAYS dead. You can count on artistic integrity from writer Keith Giffen. -STRONG CHARACTERS, STRONG RELATIONSHIPS: Keith Giffen is an expert in garnering emotional investment. Whether it's showing Drax's fervor to kill Thanos or Nova's need for revenge in the name of Nova Corps., you'd have a hard time NOT caring about them. The villains have wonderful personalities as well: megalomaniacs (Annihilus) are absolutely, endearingly in fact, fixated on destroying everything and ruling what remains, while strategists (Thanos of Titan) inject sardonic wit into the epic, while heralds (Ravenous) see the punishment for their crimes! Each character has their own story within the Annihilation story, adding depth to the epic. The only complaints I have of this book is that artist Andrea [DiVito]Create? is a slight step down from Annihilation: Silver Surfer artist Renato Arlem, and that Annihilation: Nova Corps. Files (an encyclopedia, essentially) is dry and unenjoyable. Also, there's a great number of characters involved in Annihilation. It might be confusing to keep track of them all, so don't read this book unless you've read at least one of the other trades, or the major plot points from a website or blog. Try out Book 1 to see if you like the flavor, and decide then to embrace it or not. If you embrace it, you're definitely in for a hell of a ride. Overall, strong plots with well-written characterization. Marvel in space is looking mighty bright, and your 17 bucks are definitely not wasted here.
- Review:: 'An overall good story This is the last part of the Annihilation story and the conclusion and wrap-up of Annihilus's attack on our (Marvel) universe. I enjoyed all three volumes of the story, but Book 3 not as much as Book 2. This is not to say the story ended badly; in fact I thought it had a great Marvel Sci-fi, exciting, universe altering ending. I just think Book 2 had more action, and the wrap-up stories at the end of Book 3 didn't excite me, while spending time setting up future series.
- Review:: 'Big disappointment. I read a lot of positive reviews on Amazon about how cool this series was and how it blew Marvel's "Civil War" series out of the water. Maybe that comparison alone should have been enough to scare me off. Anyway, as a kid, I read pretty much every single comic Marvel put out between 1963-79, and I was well versed in their many attempts at ultra-cosmic, super-duper, mind-blowing meta-fiction from the 1970s. I dutifully consumed all the books with third-rate characters such as Drax the Destroyer, Moondragon, Star Lord, Nova, Darkseid (uh, I mean, Thanos), the Eternals, etc., and more sympathetic (but no less dreary) headliners such as Warlock and Captain Marvel... A youth well wasted. Anyway, I was willing to give this series a shot and even got all tingly as I lined the big, thick books up on my shelf and got ready for a week or so of super-cosmic zip-zapping. The introductory book, showing the beginning of the "annihilation wave" invasion coming from the alternate-universe Negative Zone, had as an upside the wiping out of the cheesy Green Lantern-ripoff "Nova Corps," and set the stage for the rest of the series. Book Two had one relatively strong plotline, with the quest of the amoral, battle-hardened Super Skrull, as well as a Silver Surfer story that, while it was a chore to get through, was still relatively interesting. Book Three was just awful, though. The uber-cosmic war ground slowly to a plodding end. The invasion's leader, the buglike Annihillus, has never been that interesting, and he proved utterly boring and unimpressive here, although the entire series was supposed to hinge on his creepy, unhuman badness. And yet: yawn. It was a readable plotline, but just barely. The coda, a miniseries featuring the various surviving heralds of Galactus -- Firelord, Silver Surfer and a couple of other utterly forgettable losers -- was so, so, so, so, so very bad, as lame and paper-thin as anything ever published in the '70s. Books One and Two were okay, but it's really hard to say whether it's even worth it to pick up Volume 3, even to see how it all turns out. This was one of the most leaden, sluggish comics I've read in a long, long time. Oh, well. Live and learn. (Axton)
- Review:: 'The Action-Packed Conclusion! The first two books of Annihaltion carried the mini series this one though it's got it all the main series the meat and potatoes of the story. Annihilation was slept on as far as big events overshadowed by Civil War but, far and away the better event. In this final book Nova and the rest of his Warriors prepare for the final battle against the Annihilation Wave if they fail Earth is directly in the waves path. Great read and awesome finish to the event.
